Meh, I can't stand to listen to her...so dumb.

Why would anyone bother to protest? She's the gift that keeps on giving, let her talk.

Good god, why does McCain even bother with that freak????

She reminds me of the high-school ditz in speech class.

as he is dragged out the last 20 sec. seem the most ironic.

What right do they have to even touch that guy? Is wasn't like he was shouting "fire" in a crowded theater.

it didn't appear the protester posed a threat to her or to anyone in the crowd. it just appears they wanted to shut him up. it appears to be
the old "if you aren't with us then you are with the bad guys" type thinking.

if I were in her shoes, I would have asked him to come to the stage
and say his peace. or, perhaps invite him to enter into a short ten minute
debate over whatever issues are on his mind. but to simply throw him
out is Soviet style politics.

She's a quitter chicken-sh^t, so would never debate.

If someone were giving a speech I'd at least stfu respect that. If this were your History class you'd get tossed too.

So ya thought ya might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow.
I got me some bad news for you, Sunshine.
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel,
And he sent us along as a surrugate band.
We're gonna find out where you fans really stand.
Are there any queers in the theatre tonight?
Get 'em up against the wall. -- 'Gainst the wall!
And that one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me.
Get him up against the wall. -- 'Gainst the wall!
And that one looks Jewish, and that one's a coon.
Who let all this riffraff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint, and another with spots!
If I had my way I'd have all of ya shot.

that's a good point. people do need to learn how to behave.

Kuan has a point, she has a right to hold a rally and not be interrupted.
I'm not defending her but there are a lot of disrespectful people whose
only goal in life is to disrupt.

and no, she's not on my "favorites" list but she has a right to make
her voice heard. In a post campaign interview, she shared a few
thoughts I thought were enlightening. she mentioned that she expected
some political mud slinging but wasn't prepared for just how down
and NASTY people have become. we have become full blown Roman
Citizens and our political rallies have degenerated into Roman Colosseum
style events. in other words, we've become the animals we really are.

You and Kuan are correct, but it's fun to see how speakers handle the situation. Some can pull it off better than others.

Obama (who I didn't vote for) dealt with one guy pretty good not too long ago, don't recall the speech however.
